ImageEdit

Project Icon

Now available on pypi.org!

Create various icon masks and shading effects with the imageedit library. Six example files under main: round.py, makeProjIcons.py, makePWAImages.py, makeRetro.py, getPWAScreenshots.py and readWriteLayered.py.

Leverages the following libraries to do the heavy lifting:

Pillow
blendmodes
colourswatch
layeredimage
metprint
svgtrace

Have a look under test/test_read_write_layered for an example of converting an xcf to ora and png. Unfortunately, visibility of xcf is currently ignored :(

See the documentation for each library for more information on things you can use it for.

Example Files

  • get_pwa_screenshots.py
  • make_phone_screenshots.py
  • make_poj_icons.py
  • make_pwa_images.py
  • make_retro.py
  • read_write_layered.py
  • round.py

Comparison to similar solutions

GUI

Web

Advantages of this solution

  • Lightweight: few dependencies required (python, pillow, blendmodes, layeredimage, and svgtrace)
  • Quick: when given a regular or mask image it can produce many variants in a relatively short amount of time
  • Customizable: write your own scripts to leverage imageEdit (python knowledge required)
  • Produce a PWA mask icon out of the box
  • SVG tracing lib doesn't require potrace/ pypotrace which can be challenging to set up on Windows
  • SVG tracing using imageTracerJs.py (https://github.com/jankovicsandras/imagetracerjs)

Disadvantages of this solution

  • Specific image dimensions needed out of the box: whilst this is something that could be changed, maskable icons are 640x640 and regular icons are 512x512

How to use out of the box

get_pwa_screenshots.py

make_phone_screenshots.py

make_proj_icons.py

make_pwa_images.py

  1. Put regular 512x512 image or mask 640x640 image under main/input in this example I am using lightfox.png

    LightFox
  2. Run make_pwa_images.py and navigate to main/output/lightfox.png/pwa

    LightFox LightFox LightFox LightFox LightFox

make_retro.py

  1. Put regular 512x512 image or mask 640x640 image under main/input. In this example I am using BlendModes.png

    BlendModes
  2. Run make_retro.py and navigate to main/output/blendmodes.png/retro Personal Computers

Documentation

A high-level overview of how the documentation is organized organized will help you know where to look for certain things:

  • The Technical Reference documents APIs and other aspects of the machinery. This documentation describes how to use the classes and functions at a lower level and assume that you have a good high-level understanding of the software.

Building

This project uses https://github.com/FHPythonUtils/FHMake to automate most of the building. This command generates the documentation, updates the requirements.txt and builds the library artefacts

Note the functionality provided by fhmake can be approximated by the following

handsdown  --cleanup -o documentation/reference
poetry export -f requirements.txt --output requirements.txt
poetry export -f requirements.txt --with dev --output requirements_optional.txt
poetry build

fhmake audit can be run to perform additional checks

Testing

For testing with the version of python used by poetry use

poetry run pytest

Alternatively use tox to run tests over python 3.8 - 3.11

tox
